Q: Do medical device cleanrooms have air conditioning?

A: Yes. GMP requires a controlled environment. Typically, there is some kind of medical device manufacturing specification for allowable temperature and humidity that can only be achieved with cleanroom air conditioning.

Q: What kind of cleanrooms are used for product that are supplied to medical device companies?

A: Plastic injections molders are typically ISO-8.
